Aljazeera the delhi. Lets bring in our guest. Is professor and dean at the school of International Affairs and joins us from new delhi victoria schofield is an independent south asia analyst and she joins us from london. Tariq herzog is a Pakistan Security analyst and he joins us from islamabad welcome to all of our guests let me start with you these moves that pakistan is making suspending Train Service to india threatening to close airspace to india downgrading diplomatic ties with india what kind of effect will it have in the long run well the initial let me start with the initial effect of that the purpose of severing. Done grading the diplomatic ties is a to send a message to the war that there are tensions between india and pakistan to look because of the actions taken by moody to simply strip the people of this repeat of that but i had to go in themselves and all of the liberties that is now that is now days deployed that if you dont take an action now the situation would. Move towards a direct military confrontation so the downgrading of diplomatic ties actually sends a clear message of what i just mentioned it does the art of the war that tensions are very high that the normal ties have become strained that the diplomatic ties no longer you know why of all cannot be maintained as such and the 2 nations are headed in the direction of a military conflict thats the purpose of sending this and various of the actions that progress on is taken and the messages i believe but he created the diff sent to the whole world. You heard just now what tariq peers out of said do you believe as he stated that india and pakistan are headed down a path of confrontation. A lot depends on how pakistan behaves itself if it overreacts we are being very cool in india in fact our Prime Minister said we have to adopt a statesman like position its an internal matter and we are not interested in escalating this conflict and all of this is an administrative reorganization of kashmir that was our visit part of india you know 7 decades ago so for pakistan to meddle and interfere and to try and internationalize this that is their strategy because they cannot match india conventionally so they want to bring in 3rd parties 4th parties crying about you know allegedly Human Rights Violations and such things but the reality is that these measures are not like pinpricks and frankly cancellation of trade with india you know the volume is like hardly 2000000000. 00 most of our period is not with pakistan at all and its not going to affect us and not is it going to compel us to change but i suspect the real problem is not what theyre publicly announcing the real problem is theyre going to unleash the same or jihad these poison that has to be stabilised specially for many decades they have terrorist mastermind so not been brought to book imran khan the Prime Minister of pakistan publicly admitted the news do resent the us troops that we have 30240000 armed actors who need to be reined in thats his estimate only for government be saying that thats conservative so were talking about you know a large scale you have this menace that is looming across the border and india is preparing for it you know also trade barriers and cutting off you know cultural links is a bad idea we dont want to take this forward but if theyre decided to go more aggressive and use force i think were prepared with going to force you know we have the deterrent measures at the border and thats why we have deployed forces in advance of this move to prevent any kind of mischief or adventurism by pakistan victoria schofield Indian Lawyers are split about the constitutionality of revoking article 370. 00 many have said the governments plan is likely to face Court Challenges what do you think is this something thats going to be heard by the Supreme Court in india could it possibly be reversed in the courts. Well i think its early days yet to say exactly what can what can happen in the courts i think undoubtedly there is a section of the population in india who are surprised at the way Prime Minister modi has really unilaterally altered the constitution as we know the move to abrogate article 370 has been part of the b j mean b j p manifesto for a long time but the idea always was that there should be some consultation with the Legislative Assembly or the fact that the state of general interest me has been under president s rule for the past year and that has just been renewed really took away the opportunity for this can se and so i think its its a very drastic move without consulting the people there is bound to be some reaction within the valley the curfew has not yet been lifted but when youve already got a section of the population alienated to put them in lockdown to really not not have any consultation a tool to bring in extra troops. Is bound to have a reaction within the valley let alone what what pakistans position is true there is many critics of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who say that revoking the special status in the in the minister of kashmir is not just an attack on indias secular identity but its also part of a broader agenda of the Prime Minister to make india more of a hindu nation and also to make it more authoritarian what do you say to that criticism. Not at all you know its a very democratic decision it was endorsed by massive majority of both houses of indias elected representatives of parliament and through executive order by the president of the republic and so. This kind of change is provided for within the constitution itself so enormous is it undemocratic and secondly the critics of moore do you know a lot of them are in a minority i mean they had basically people who believe in the idea of ghettoization of question you know where 97 percent of the people of Kashmir Valley are muslims and its been deliberately kept saw by preventing people from the rest of india from visiting and acquiring property and reciting that through the socalled special status so it was maintained as a ghetto which in turn festered the alienation that we are talking about the alienation is not inbuilt our natural its instigated by pakistan one and 2 we were hacking at our own feet by having article 370. 00 so more that is now removed and you know its a proactive step to fully integrate and simulate it into the National Mainstream and that will eventually happen i dont believe this theory is that you know that this is a hindu agenda and all that you know this is the typical international liberal talk and a few leftists in our country who had those things on their sleeves but look at the emotional outpouring across india you know its not just fallen men the public in general has been. Up in peoples i think finally we did it you know we had to do this to end the problem once and for all and i think thats going to happen eventually you must have coexistence of hindus and muslims and sikhs and other communities why should it be a ghetto like this because then it becomes a father for use by our neighbors so its very important that you know we consolidate by creating the idea in fact you mentioned a secular state ill tell you our National Security coexistence of all faiths not exclusive domains and enclaves like what the. It did in Kashmir Valley for so long so eventually we would want to integrate it and thats whats going to happen and thats why pakistan is so scared and thats why they are over reacting and talking about awad and you know the bugs anybody should resign your number on the end of it will have on my back let me just say france for a major suicide bombing im certain there are other problems im starting to up to but i see who wants to respond to what youre saying and parkers out i also want to ask you and let you respond because all you wanted to jump in there but also what do people in pakistan think do they believe that Prime Minister modi is attempting to make india into a more hindu nation. Theres the dominance of hindu ism the imposition of in the yall or in the you all of the indian as asian of the indian republic to the exclusion of all minorities including 201000000. 00 muslims this is their fundamentalists and it was a part of their manifesto there is nothing to hide about it and your question was so by their number 2 let me come come back to the u. N. Resolutions this talk that this is an internal issue somebody has to read in 194849 several of the resolutions of the United Nations that say is that because there is a special status that did muslims of most minimal claims of india have to be given that id like to decide their fate as an independent people through the exercise of what is called the right to privacy this is a specific language of the un resolutions and this is why pakistan is not at the United Nations and this is what they intend to say if i can understand the government of pakistan they would be saying that me out here by informing the World Community that india has a similar governed up the state of india by the look on laos now why is that. Is not. What was also a tad about think so if you do not enforce your own resolutions as you passed in 194849 and as not endorsed by the planners from. Several years ago if you dont do that the situation in subcontinent will naturally be placed in the direction of a medically conflict and this is i assure you the people of pakistan are in absolute and the determination to support the independence when that is going on and if that does not succeed there will be a direct military conflict and hole to me that pakistan and iraq one piece in india. We just shot down we just shot down in. I missed say the Indian Air Force if it ever came back this is not be focused on is not now its never dave and were destroying the people of pakistan im sorry interrupt but i want to and let me just get to you in just one minute i want to ask victoria schofield one question now of victoria schofield if Prime Minister modi succeeds in this strategy with regard to kashmir do you believe that he would move on to issues that are even more religiously polarizing or more polarizing in society. Well what he said hes going to move on to is to try and get back the rest of the state which is under Pakistan Administration and i think that would be highly contentious by that we mean go get baltistan and the area which the indians called pakistan occupied kashmir which the pakistanis called the jungle and and kashmir and so when were talking about internal affairs the fact is that this is also part of the of the manifesto that the whole state as it once was a former Princely State should be incorporated back into india and this is this is very contentious and i dont think we can overlook that and i would like to wait one point i was in the valley in in in the summer and i would not call it a ghetto i dont think thats the right description of the valley the people there are kiss me it is they enjoy living the way they live and what they would like to do is they have without a military presence a large military presence and go about their daily lives and enjoy the Beautiful Valley so i think 11 really has to cool the tempers and not get involved in in the rhetoric and what really needs to be done is how this issue can be sorted out for the benefit of the people who live there which is why i would not say it was a democratic decision it may have been some resolution people in india but it should have been it should have been supported by by the people who live in i get in the valley and in in the region sure im tally up yes i see you want to jump in please go ahead and could you also respond to what victoria schofield said about this being undemocratic to make sure this revocation of article 370. Well 1st of all i would say that i have visited Kashmir Valley several times myself and it is a large segment of media elites who have strong separate the sense a session is tendencies and who sympathize with pakistan and they believe in the 2 nations cod which divided india and pakistan which is that muslims should have their own homeland and should not be part of india but its a complete bunkum to say that modi has some kind of you know in the right to say trying to convert the whole country into kind of a hindu i patronize i think its completely relevant although you know there are 180000000 muslims in india there are 180000000 muslims in india and out of whom only 7000000 i thought why only these 7000000 are seeking for cessation or indifferent talk not all of them but many of them theyre speaking to the elites heats because its part of their strategy and it all started you have found in terms of governance not coming to the point about ghettos you know i would say that my friend you know if you read the 1940 or 49 there are no your take no you know its very sad and what they are going to be no no no you are going back and back and 1948 or 49 you are the one supposed to wait cant touch me or fuss with your beard it is an illusion you have iran and you are minute were going to have them all right i have a discussion here and i said then you know about resolutions ok you have hopping on about all the stuff we have all done and the last point i want to make is you were saying that you could become a flash winder and go to water let me tell you something your economy is in complete doldrums youll just be bailed out by the i. M. F. Youre under tremendous pressure by the young lady about it dont worry about it youll go to the state dont want to let it about it really matter thats an ironic talia dear im sure ill have a lot of it im sure youll cannot interrogators out of a notion here please and let me interject here because i dont think you need let me move on here we are starting to run out of time please dont get into the sequel is to shout i mean the. Mr chaldea own internal state and focus on it instead of continuously finding fingers at us ok terry now if you could also respond i know you want to jump in but if you could please keep your remarks as brief as possible because we are starting to run out of time you a keep mentioning the fact that it seems that the countries are on path to war now i want to ask you can pakistan being in the situation that its in right now even afford to go to war with india it has nothing do with the economy it has to do with determination and the planning and the issue is one of National Security interest of august on the good deeds and were not going to be a constant you.

I think the rhetoric wont change the situation i would firmly say and weve had the example of the 2 guests are in india and pakistan arguing and so nobodys been able to hear what theyve been saying is that they have to cool it and have dialogue because this situation has been going on for decades and they dont suffer the people who live in the region suffer and my last word would be they have to really think about having a proper dialogue which is that i love a decade on live and let live live live thats our i agree with.

Thanks very much prince joins us live from new delhi priyanka does the Indian Government feel its got some place else to go with or is it leaving it as is for the dust to settle. Right peter as far as the Indian Government is concerned its more deterring the situation in parts of india have missed me very very closely where friday prayers are under way and make tight security in some parts of the of the region specially in south. Also industry now which is the largest city in the region we are expecting protests happening later in the day after the friday president but there are more troops on the ground we are hearing from sources on the ground that there are large number of soldiers on the streets of go to preempt any violence and they have been sporadic clashes in the past 4 days but unfortunately the reporters are journalists on the ground there havent been allowed access to those areas to film any of those protests we also understand that they have been protests in 3 areas in the dock region on thursday an hour soon after that security restrictions were put in place and carville and to other areas as far as jumble is concerned situation is relatively calm except in some pockets we understand schools are reopening and peace one district but situation is really dire in parts of the indian was to be in the Kashmir Valley region where the 4 lines are still down locals have to have access to only couple of phone lines around the airport area and government offices for their long queues of families trying to get across to the loved ones and other parts of india or across the world if they have anything. In case of emergency situation so we dont know if these restrictions will be lifted we hope for promised in the interim or the on thursday in his address to the nation where he said that these restrictions are only temporary nature and these restrictions have been put in place to ensure safety and security of the people but in the past one album. Weve also heard reports that senior leftist leaders. From new delhi who arrived in st other airport was in fact its going to be sent back from st other airport and this is pretty pretty or normal now because on thursday another Senior Congress party leader was also the same way he tried to get in. As soon as he landed he was sent back to new delhi so as far as new delhi is concerned is trying to put a lid on any kind of political activity or protests in the indian as administered kashmir peter bergen thanks very much. Ok lets just show you some latest live pictures coming to us out of hong kong specifically were talking about the airport where activist has now started 3 days of rallies there hoping to win support from people flying into hong kong its the 2nd time theyve occupied the airport in less than a month hundreds been arrested since citywide demonstrations began more than 2 months ago testers want an independent inquiry into alleged Police Brutality the complete withdrawal of the controversial extradition bill and the resignation of the hong kong leader kerry lamb will stay with these pictures and talk to our correspondent rob mcbride rob how many people are there now. While we have the last couple of hours or so peter the numbers of the swelled 2 here. My arrival hall the how wrong International Airport where thousands of protesters now i gather they are occupying this whole hall and the idea of this was last time which was deemed a big success if they want to greet people as theyre arriving in hong kong they have leaflets in all sorts of different languages to explain about this whole extradition controversy and explain their position and their demands i can give you a quick look around here this is idea of you who knows International Hong kong International Airport this is the arrival hall b. Now this is the latest. With protesters. Here as you can see along the years here there are many young people riding on the Wearing Masks this is an unofficial demonstration nobodys given permission for this to handing out leaflets to many visitors tourists really of whom have to be said to quite amused specially the visitors from Mainland China a number of visitors weve seen have shown their support for the for these protesters one or 2 have been want to alter cations from people who do certainly do not support what these people are doing but this is a rival holby this is the. To all parts of the arrival hall and this was the 1st part to fill up and the way off in the distance is arrival hall 8 which is just as for this section of the hall here so we are talking about several 1000 people and it is very well organized they are organizing themselves you see stewards going around making sure that passageway is are left open for people to get through we were just watching on one of the walls here some what couple the protesters started to put stickit notes on the wall and a couple of other marshals rushed over and says no no dont do that were not allowed to do that so they are behaving themselves and organizing themselves to keep this they get their message across and they are being allowed to do so it has to be said by the Airport Authority is that i would say no permission has been given for this but there are and there is Airport Security around but everybody is complying with the marshals and Airport Security to keep the flow of tourists and visitors coming through here they have been singing songs they have been various chance the calling for Free Hong Kong and democracy now. As this demonstration continues you also hear young guy you know which is excuse my cantonese but that roughly translates as come on hong kong people keep at it lets keep going as we now enter into our 3rd month exhausting toto peter and when it comes to the 3rd month anniversary of the protest rather mean that theyve got a long significant list of demands but carry lambs resignation she said shes not going she said the extradition bill is off the table anyway but they want it more off the table than it is at the moment and this idea of an independent inquiry into allegations of Police Brutality and they going to get any of the stuff theyve got on this the Shopping List of demands. I mean they do have 5 key demands some of the demands do seem as though they just know they will never be accepted such as releasing everybody whos been arrested so far during these protests rebranding these protests not as riot and so on but there are a couple of other demands which possibly could be made to be carried resigning or not resigning at this stage probably wouldnt make any difference but the demand for a independent judicial inquiry if that was granted and there has been calls from various sections of society even some of the progovernment supporters people like the Legal Community hong kong. To that that would be some of the sting out of. Some people here who are watching the government some supporters of the government if they just conceded to a couple of the demands you might see maybe hard for the demonstrators whove been taking to these massive demonstrations deciding not to turn out into stay at home peter.
